Album Review: Judas Priest - Redeemer Of Souls

Before metal was angry and aggressive, it was just loud and badarse. Over four-and-a-half decades, 17 studio albums and almost as many band members, Judas Priest have specialised in that form of loud and badarse.

That continues with Redeemer Of Souls. With song titles like Halls Of Valhalla, Sword Of Damocles and Secrets Of The Dead, it might be 2014, but shhhh, no one tell Judas Priest that. The longer they think it's still 1976, the longer we'll keep getting this kind of classic metal – devilish sounds, just as the dark lord intended.
